Fredo's Round Corners Plugin runs very slow

You might want to post in the plugin's thread so you ensure that Fredo reads it. When issues about plugins are posted as separate threads it might be that the author doesn't notice it.

Don't worry, I read it.
The only thing I can do is to equip some RC files with traces and kindly ask concerned Mac users to test in order to try finding out where the time is spent. Simply, I am just in the middle of a release of LibFredo6, and I'll do it only in a few days.

I am not sure it is a Mac issue. I think the geometry of what you are rounding may greatly affect this. When rounding a slice of ancient Roman bread I made (delicious!), until I had made some geometry changes, the script would run just so long that it basically crashed the program for half an hour.

tbh

howdy again,

i would be glad to test whatever you want results to. im going to check this thread on a daily basis now.

i want to point out that the very same plugin works just fine on a windoze test installation, even with more complex objects, under mac you can't even get a simple square rounded corners.

also, im sorry for going "the wrong thread" but it's quite ontopic in here, and as i pointed out it's the first result on google, thus if solved quite useful if reachable just here.

as usual just 2 cents.

Same here,

As soon as I invoke the plug-in Sketchup slows down to unworkable speeds.
Running Snow Leopard on the fastest Mac at the moment.

Might it be Graphics card related? (ATI Radeon HD 5870)

Hello,

I copied the file over the old version. This one does not invoke the rounding procedure anymore. Clicking the icons gives no result. So something is broken...

Thanks for looking into this, I appreciate your time trying to solve this problem for us.

hi Fredo,

I'm on 10.5.8 and switching to this ruby has improved performance, there was a lot of lag when orbiting during use, particularly if one of the additional cursors was active.

Do you want the log txt file or is it sending itself to you?

John,

Thanks for quick answer. Would you say that performance are back to "normal", or is there still a lag in view refreshing when selecting edges?

Hi Fredo,

What could cause my round script to not work at all now? I had the serious lag, I swapped the script and now it does not work at all. When I click a rounding button it becomes highlighted but nothing happens. When I click a chamfer or other button in the same palette they become highlighted also but no action results...

Strange?

Did you have RoundCorner 2.2c installed?
The updated file I posted (RoundCorner_tool.rb) is of course an update to this version, not to older ones.

hi Fredo,

probably? back to normal for navigation, the tube is slow to process on these setting, and if I select all and run RC it's crawls.

there just standard shapes from the SU ruby that I exploded to make life easier...
tube runs slow

Just in case, can any of the MAC user having the slow navigation problem try the attached file (just drop it in ROUNDCORNER_Dir_22 folder.

EDIT : attachment removed. Fix is now in version 2.3.

The problem of performance in navigation on some Mac is normally solved in new release of Roundcorner 2.3 (note that you need to install LibFredo6 3.7 too).

Thanks to all Mac users who contributed to help me in the troubleshooting.

Thanks to confirm that the issue is over.

Fredo

thanks for the plugins and your attention to the mac versions...
